      Editing partitions has the potential to cause LOSS of DATA.
      </para>
      <para>
      The <application>gparted</application> application is
      designed to enable you to edit partitions while
      reducing the risk of data loss.
      The application is carefully tested and is used
      by the GParted project team.
      However, loss of data might occur due to software bugs,
      hardware problems, or power failure.
      </para>
      <para>
      You can help to reduce the risk of data loss by
      not mounting or unmounting partitions outside of
      the <application>gparted</application> application while
      <application>gparted</application> is running.
      </para>
      <para>Du rekommenderas att SÄKERHETSKOPIERA ditt DATA innan du använder programmet <application>gparted</application>.</para>
